Time magazine calls me the discovery

of the year, because I am the first artist

of Hispanic ancestry

to have my work shown

at the Museum of Modern Art

in New York, even though my statues

are an ancient style,

not modern,

and all I ever

finishing two arms

intended to do

was stay up late

and hands, leaving

the dream

of a face

for the next

morning.

SMOKE

DOLORES

California, 1937

On cold winter nights

when a hard frost threatens to destroy

the orange crop,

orchard foremen bang on our doors

to wake us up

and make us go out to light flames

in smudge pots

surrounded by darkness.
